    Early morning rain

    Really nice performance, I enjoyed this. Agree with the above comments though that it's crying out for a more natural, less room verby lead vocal if you can do anything about that at all. Could also do with a small boost to the bass part too I think.

    Diana Light The Moon Reprise

    Thanks everyone for thoughts. There’s a new mix on the OP along with the first effort, and new mix also on this post. I’ve changed a bunch of stuff, which may or may not made much difference, but I think is generally for the better. The overall sound seems like it's ‘bigger’, but starting to...

    Diana Light The Moon Reprise

    Ace, thanks for listening Pete and also for those tracks in the first place. There’s more of a feature made of them in this version I think as the melody (in as much as there is one) is more slow burning and so suits those saturated droning sounds pretty well. Yeah, I’m with you on getting...

    Diana Light The Moon Reprise

    Thanks for clarifying that Trip, I appreciate you coming back in. I'll bear all that in mind and see if I can address it on the updated mix.

    Diana Light The Moon Reprise

    Hi Bub, it’s a re-working of a song I had in the clinic a couple of years ago. There were some vocals in the original – essentially the title repeated a few times. The title came from this book about the romans as a kid - it’s still at my parents house and I came across it when I was back home...

    Diana Light The Moon Reprise

    Ha, you stumbled on a bit of a weird one to reacquaint yourself with it too Tad. Sorry about that! :D I still intend to keep the other version, though that still needs some more work as well – I just wanted to make this as a bit of a companion piece. I love remixes and seeing bands reinterpret...

    Diana Light The Moon Reprise

    Great, thanks for checking it out Ray – cinematic is always good with me. That guitar does get a bit squeaky doesn’t it – I kind of like it a bit trashy sounding, but I’ll tame that fret squeak on the update. You’re right about the lean too, there are a couple of parts on the other side that...

    Diana Light The Moon Reprise

    Been a while since I've had chance to work on anything new, and this is maybe a bit of an odd one to come back with. It's based on another tune I had in the clinic a couple of years ago which I'd originally intended to be a bit of an ambient soundscape piece, but had gone off in another...

    it doesn't matter

    Yeah, definitely an improvement Pete - overall sound is more polished I guess than mix 1. I didn't think the vocals really needed to come up when I heard the first mix, but with hindsight they definitely benefit from it. Anything from here on in would just be personal taste really :)...

    Vesuvius - surf punk Nerd Rock by SavantSyndrome - complete mix

    Hey bubb, I lost my recording space after my daughter was born and only just getting back up running now. Compressed my working hours into a few longer days for a childcare day & am back at university part time with exams coming up too, which has all curtailed my recording time unfortunately...

    Vesuvius - surf punk Nerd Rock by SavantSyndrome - complete mix

    You seen this festival coming up Bubba: Bluedot Festival PSB playing on the friday - in front of the Lovell telescope sounds fucking cool! We're going on the sunday I think, though there are bands on all the days I'd kill to see. The Gift by Velvet Underground is another spoken word classic...

    On The Edge

    Nice tune, it's got a real driving feel and the performances are great. I hear the lack of presence that others mention, but it just sounds like something that a limiter on the master would clear up. Have you already got one on set low or are you planning on sending for mastering at some...

    it doesn't matter

    This is very cool indeed. I love all the texture and the new sounds you've added to your usual style. All works really well. I think you're aiming for a mix where all the parts sit 'in' the mix rather than perfect separation and clarity? I like that and it works well, but here and there I'd...

    The lost art of living

    Yes! Love the guitar on the new version, and how the ba ba's now just come in at the end. Excellent :thumbs up:

    Original song "Marianas" - first complete mix.

    That's really cool, well done Bubba - must've been great for you all to hear. I must have missed the final version of this song, so enjoyed hearing where you got to with it in the end :)

    john mcgraw

    Heat!! Great to see you back man, I thought you might have been a gonner. New song is really good, nothing really sounds out of whack to me. I love the reverb levels on the vocal personally, and excellent lyrics. Social commentary is hard to do without being preachy or overbearing, but I think...

    The lost art of living

    Very nice Chuck, I enjoyed this a lot. The vocals open out nicely on the choruses and didn't mind the lowness on the verses. It gets kind of slurry, but in a kind of Kurt Wagner-ish way and that works for me. The only thing I wasn't crazy about were the ba ba ba vocal sections. They feel...

    Video for they dont

    I remember this one in the clinic. Sounds great - more polished than I remember it. Did you do some more work on the mix since last posting it up? I didn't think the video was boring, but would have been cool with some kind of pay-off at the end. I dunno, like walking up to the camera when you...

    Unwritten Chick Code

    Performance and song all sound good Trip, and great lyrics as always. I don't think the length of the song is an issue - it's just that that chugging rhythm part gets a bit fatiguing over the duration without much variation. I wonder whether you could change it up a bit - like maybe some...

    Shallow Waters

    Caught a quick listen to this the other day but didn't get chance to comment. When I listened then it seemed like there was a harshness over the mix, like an overhyped exciter on the master or something. I'm not hearing that now, so I'm guessing you've changed something and this is an updated...
